The Reason For the Season

THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

Christmas is on the horizon
There's magic in the air
Santa Claus and his elves
Have many toys to share

They solicit Frosty the Snowman
To come give them a hand
But he's too busy romping
In a Winter Fairy Land

In numerous houses everywhere
Folks are trimming the tree
With twinkling lights and ornaments
All so lovely to see

There's the sound of jingle bells
And children on their sled
Racing down the hillside
Each wanting to be ahead

But wait, there's more to Christmas
Than what is mentioned here
The Birth of the Christ Child
Is quickly drawing near

Christ is the reason for the season
Sleigh bells and Rudolph are fun
But let's turn our eyes upon Jesus
Because He is God's Only Son

Dropping by again to tell you that I received your soup mail and I agree wholeheartedly. However, for some reason, I have not been able to reply to Soupmail. It says only html allowed, but all I have done is type. I can't figure it out. I had to message here. I wanted you to know that your message was well received. Forever Smiles.
